Here is the best thought I have heard in a while from a post entitled "I Am Beautiful":

yes...I am beautiful just like I am,,,and because I love myself...I am going to live a healthier lifestyle"

This is not the case of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, for lasting weight loss, love yourself enough to take care of yourself. Don't wait until you have reached the weight you "should be" to start loving yourself.

Bonus post for Thursday -- Enjoy!

"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the
universe, a moment that will never be again. And what
do we teach our children? We teach them that two and
two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France.
When will we also teach them what they are?

We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that
have passed, there has never been another child like you.
Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you
move.

You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.
And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is,
like you, a marvel?... by Pablo Casals (1876-1973)

Who will teach you that you are a marvel? Perhaps it is time to teach yourself.
